Flaming Alien Skull Knuckle Duster / Brass Knuckles

The Flaming Alien Skull Knuckle Duster / Brass Knuckles, a large flaming skull shaped knuckle duster with large fang teeth designed by myself, and was at the time a 100% one off and the only one ever made (so far).

After designing my original Skull I wanted to make an even better one, this time getting the inspiration from a motorbike ornament that I changed and re-designed to be a knuckle duster.
As mentioned above, the design is that of a skull, and is held  with your hand between the teeth as palm rest.

It is made from solid Aluminium, and features two oblong finger holes in the style of the of "deaths head" knuckle duster, with large flames on the striking surface and the two fangs sit one the sides of your palm.

Weight is average due its size and it being made of Aluminium.
Features several  makers marks - WC-12 - maker and year made, and U.K. and the No.1 (first one made)

Overall a absolute classic design and very attractive and one of my all time favourites and possible a masterpiece and certainly my best design ever so far now, makes a great display piece and even better talking point and could be used if need be.

Dimensions - 125mm wide, 125mm high, 12mm thick, Finger holes are 45mm wide and 30mm high.

Folding Trench Knife Knuckle Duster

Folding Trench Knife (Knuckle Duster / Brass Knuckles Folding Theatre Knife)
This Trench knife is not based on any that already exist and are an original design, but are similar to some models that are commercially available.
Made to be used in reverse style grip, with the blade folding in a way that it will not cut your fingers if the lock fails, the lock is a Liner Lock, however the knuckle duster can be used with the blade closed, the blade is open using a thumb stud.

The size will fit medium hands, but will just about fit large hands with a bit of a squeeze.

Features Oval finger holes and a palm rest that is neither flat or curved but is the shape of the knife handle, the weight is reasonably low due to the handle being made of Aluminium.

These have four spikes for striking, and a 3 inch partially serrated blade and would be a considerable weapon in a  fighting / War situation that can be used closed or open features a folding blade as mentioned. 
Features no makers mark , but was made by the person who made most of the knuckle dusters in the collection.


Overall a pretty nice piece, could be finished better though, and is certainly unique.

Dimensions 115mm wide, 80mm high, 6mm thick Knuckle Duster 12mm overall thickness - Finger holes are approx - 23mm wide and 30mm high,

Ladies Extra Small Knuckle Duster / Brass Knuckles

Ladies Extra Small Knuckle Duster - Extra small (XS) size ladies knuckle duster, what I like to refer to jokingly as the "Ladies Excess Knuckle Duster", Made specifically for very small hands, and most suited to women, but could be used by men with slim fingers, I do know some male teenagers who can wear these size knuckle dusters.

The size is extra small and will NOT fit medium or large fingers, one of the pictures in this post demonstrates the size of the knuckle duster when held by a average / medium size hand.

There is also a picture showing the small size knuckle dusters compared with a normal size knuckle duster, as you can see they are quite small even when compared to a medium size knuckle duster.

The design is that of a standard knuckle duster that can be bought commercially, however the size is considerably smaller than anything you could buy from widespread sellers.

Features Oval finger holes and a curved palm rest, weight is obviously low due to its size and becuase they are made from aluminium.

Due to there size they could also be concealed reasonably easily , that's if you were to risk carrying such an item.
Also features standard curved striking surfaces and various makers marks and dates/info - WC, 12, U.K, XS

Dimensions - 94mm wide, 55mm high, 12mm thick, Finger holes are approx - 19mm wide and 22mm high,
Overall a lovely little knuckle duster, great for a collection due to the rarity of this size knuckle duster / brass knuckles and is now actually in the possession of a female member of the family!

How to make a Resetting Air Rifle / Pistol Target - PART 2

The Finished Target

How to make a Resetting Air Rifle / Pistol Target - PART 2

PART 1 is HERE

Tools and Materials : Wood Saw, drill and some small and large drill bits and a large 2" wood cutting drill bit, Tin Snips / Shears, hammer, hacksaw, vice, glue, Some scrap wood, at least 3ft x 4ft (I used Pine) also some dense wood like Plyboard - about 15cm x 30cm should do, various screws (large and small) some screw-in eyelets and some washers, a spring, 1ft of copper tubing, and 1ft of threaded rod or similar rod that will fit inside the copper tube, 1ft x 3/4" steel 3mm thick, and some tin - 1mm or 2mm (I used 3 fence post brackets, but any tin will do)


All Materials are featured in the pics above and any similar type of materials will do for this project
 
PART 2 : Now remove the swinging plate and take your pieces of tin and drill various holes and screw in onto the plywood plate (as shown in pics two and three), now add the spring using a screw and a small eyelet as shown in pic three.
 
Then cut a board to go above the swinging plate 10" x 7" and glue and screw that on. now drill a hole big enough for the threaded rod 2" in, and 2" 1/2 high (pic five)
 
Now cut 3 pieces of plywood 1" 1/2  x  1"1/2  and cut some tin 1" 1/2  x  4" 1/2 fold the tin over the wood leaving a gap at the top big enough to hang them on the threaded rod, this will act like a hinge, now glue and screw the tin onto the wood. then cut the tubing into 1" and 1" 3/4  lengths to act as spacers and thread a spacer on, then a tin plate, then spacer and so on, as shown in pic seven.
 
Now just cut a lid approx 11"1/2  x  7" and screw that om, all you need to do now is screw on the steel protector just above the shooting two holes  (drill four holes in the steel) and then you can paint it any colour you like.
 
That's it, one homemade resettable target for Air Guns

The Finished Resetting Target





How to make a Resetting Air Rifle / Pistol Target - PART 1

Tools and Materials : Wood Saw, drill and some small and large drill bits and a large 2" wood cutting drill bit, Tin Snips / Shears, hammer, hacksaw, vice, glue, Some scrap wood, atleast 3ft x 4ft (I used Pine) also some dense wood like Plyboard - about 15cm x 30cm should do, various screws (large and small) some screw-in eyelets and some washers, a spring, 1ft of copper tubing, and 1ft of threaded rod or similar rod that will fit inside the copper tube, 1ft x 3/4" steel 3mm thick, and some tin - 1mm or 2mm (I used 3 fence post brackets, but any tin will do)
All Materials are featured in the pics above and any similar type of materials will do for this project.

To Start - Take two bits of tin 8" 1/2 x 2" 1/2, place together as shown in pic three and draw on two 2" circles in the centre that are 2" apart and then cut out using the tin snips or any way you like.
Then drill various small holes in the tin to secure it to the wood base using screws, as shown in pic five

Once done cut a piece of pine wood or what ever you have to 10" x 5", place you tin on the woods as a template and draw where the holes are, then using the 2" drill cut out the holes as shown in pics six and seven.
Once cut out screw the tin onto the wood as shown in pic seven.

Now cut two bits of wood 7" x 10" 1/2 for the sides and glue and screw onto the front plate as shown in pics eight and nine and cut a board 10" x 6" 1/4 for the base and glue and screw that on too.
Then cut two bits of  tin 4" x 3" 1/4  and also one bit of the denser wood the same size - 4" x 3" 1/4,
at the same time get your eyelets and  put one in the middle of the front plate at about 7mm high, then add a screw to the plyboard plate ( the 4" x 3" 1/4 one) slip the screw over the eyelet and then add the other eyelet about 5mm above the top of the plyboard plate (last pic) and add a screw and washer as shown, this creates a hinge , make sure your plate is swinging o.k.

This is the end of PART 1 , part two is HERE
